High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)

i didnt say i was playing 1/2 (in fact you can see a few posts up that im obv not), but someone beating any limit higher than 1/2 is obv going to be +EV there. also, waiting for some sort of reason why you're thoughts on poker deserve ANY consideration at all. i posted mine, you still havent said anything remotely correct in the entire thread outside of "jman shouldnt have mucked a winning hand."

just lol @ any of you who think you are watching a really tough table on this show. also how many of you have ever played w/ any of these people, or any big famous live tourney pro? i think its funny that everyone who has (including me) says most of them are trash and you guys (who have only seen them on TV lol) are giving authoritative assertions on the difference between these guys and people beating MSNL online (none of you can). So what is it you guys are basing your arguments on? b/c mine are based on being good at poker, having played online and live, and having played against live pros.

fwiw there are 1/2 players online who would be +EV against this line-up

Hah, I think this thread has now officially hit its ridiculousness limit. Actually, that probably happened a couple hundred posts ago.

Sshhhh, Don't Tap the Glass!

let future think his 1/2 pals can beat people playing 300/600 and higher. after all thats why they are still playing 1/2 - because they can beat 300/600

Do you think Jamie Gold is a winner at $200nl online right now? He isn't, and he is playing better than both Eli and Sammy overall. I'm sure a solid tight winning 2p2 type SSNL player could be +EV in this lineup just by nitting it up and punishing the overly loose players when you pick up a hand. This tight solid player wouldn't be a big winner for sure, but I'm sure they'd be a winner, albeit a very marginal one if that.

In the lineup for the past few weeks, there have been very few great players, in fact the beginning of the show had several amateurs. It's not in insane thing at all to say a good but not remarkable online player would be +EV in these games. Anybody with good fundamentals can just nit it up and exploit guys like Sammy/Eli/Jamie who are playing practically any two half the time.

And it's not even like Farha is bad really, he just doesn't care about the money and it shows. He is a really easy target in this game and has played far from well overall, although I do think he can be tough/deadly if the stakes meant something to him.

The point is that you don't have to be one of the top players in the game to be +EV. Think of it like when somebody takes a shot when there is one or two bad players present. The rest of the table is full of good professional players that are substantially better than our hero taking a shot, yet one bad player makes the game very +EV. Contrary to popular belief, the HSP producers didn't try to assemble the best players in the game, they assembled the most popular players in the game with some amateurs and unknown internet pros scattered in the mix.

not like futuredoc was an unknown prior to this topic.

but weve yet to see any proof that you, or desab for that matter, are winning players...

[Diamond Lie]

Dudes a solid player who has respect from a lot of people on the forums

If you can't respect someone who actually gives back to 2+2 and has a solid game its prob bc youre a troll or you're clueless (possibly both)?
